Food and everyday choices

Hi everyone,

Lately I’ve been paying a bit more attention to how food affects me day to day. I noticed that products which look very similar can sometimes feel quite different for me, even when the ingredients don’t seem that far apart.

I’m still trying to understand how much attention I should give to this, so I was wondering how others here approach food choices. Do you focus on ingredients, processing, or just personal experience?

  • I've got masses of food intollerances which makes shopping a pain in the bum, although not as much now as it used too, I cook pretty much everything from scratch, I batch cook too and freeze a couple of portions, once I've done that two or three times, I've got a revolving menu of home made frozen food and I only have to do a big cook once or twice a week.

    I use a bread machine to make my own bread, it's really simple and you can pretty much get a loaf going in the time it takes to make a cup of tea and as it does all the mixing proving and baking it's as easy and mess free as using a washing machine.

    There may well be one or two common ingredients that disagree with you, you may need to keep a food diary to see what exactly is causing problems.
